To go along with the description Ross provided there are some decent cross sectional views and theory behind changes made to the springs and shackles in the 38 fact book. Section 4 Chassis has that info and the description of the rear springs and shackles starts on page 19. According to the 39 fact book the new 38 design was carried over virtually unchanged. There were some improvements or changes made available to the spring and inserts for better noise and ride control in 39, some retrofittable to earlier years, and those are detailed in various service articles.
